BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a transmission for a hybrid electric vehicle, and more particularly, to an electrically variable transmission (EVT) implements that a continuous transmission gear ratio, using one or more planetary gear sets and motors.

2. Description of Related Art

The EVTs in the related art can be classified into a single mode type and a multimode type. The single mode type, as shown in FIG. 1, typically uses a planetary gear set 500 that has a configuration in which input from an engine is supplied to a carrier C and output is achieved through a ring gear R. and a first motor generator MG1 is connected to a sun gear S and a second motor generator MG2 is connected to ring gear R.

The relationship of torque in the EVT can be briefly shown, as shown in FIG. 2, that is, torque from first motor generator MG1 and the output shaft is applied from both sides, with respect to torque supplied from the engine to carrier C, such that they keep balance.

Therefore, first motor generator MG1 should keep supplying appropriate reaction force to transmit the torque of the engine well to the output shaft, such that the torque of the output shaft is necessarily smaller than the torque of the engine. Further, the amount of power transmitted from the engine along an electric path which is made through first motor generator MG1 and second motor generator MG2 considerably increase in an acceleration section of the vehicle, such that efficiency decreases and motor generators having large capacity are required.

Although the multimode types of EVTs have been proposed to overcome the defects described above, most of the EVTs are provided with an ENGINE ONLY mode for starting a vehicle due to various limits for the characteristics of batteries and motor generators.

That is, in wide open throttle (WOT) start in which a driver rapidly starts a hybrid electric vehicle by maximally pressing down the acceleration pedal, it is difficult to ensure sufficient output shaft torque due to limits in the batteries and motor generators in the multimode types of EVTs of the related art, such that the specific ENGINE ONLY mode is provided for the rapid acceleration start only by the engine, such that the user's request is satisfied.

Further, as described above, in order to overcome the practical limits in the batteries and motor generators, the number of clutches that are provided with various modes including the ENGINE ONLY start mode and used to switch the modes is increased; however, as a plurality of clutches is provided, transmission efficiency of the EVT decreases, and new problems, such as complicity in the control of switching the modes and shock in switching the modes, occur.

Further, the shock due to switching the modes acts as a factor decreasing acceleration response of the vehicle when the modes are frequently switched in the WOT start. In particular, it is impossible to continuously increase the number of revolution of the engine in the WOT start in the multimode type of EVT of the related art and it is required to reduce the number of revolution of the engine at a predetermined level in order to switch the modes, such that control is difficult, transmission shock is easily generated, and the acceleration response decreases.

For example, the EVT shown in FIG. 3 is a 2-mode EVT having a fixed gear ratio and can be illustrated by the lever diagram of FIG. 4. In the EVT, a vehicle is started at the first stage with a fixed gear ratio which is implemented by engaging only a firsts clutch CL1 with a fourth clutch CL4 in the WOT start and a first planetary gear set PG1 and a second planetary gear set PG2 become integral by the engagement of fourth clutch CL4 and rotate with the same number of revolution as the engine connected to an input shaft. Further, a third ring gear R3 of a third planetary gear set PG3 is fixed by first clutch CL1, such that the power of the engine that is inputted to a third sun gear S3 of third planetary gear set PG3 is reduced and transmitted the an output shaft through a third carrier C3.

As the vehicle speed increases, the engine is supposed to operate close to the maximum power point such that the maximum acceleration force is acquired, but as the vehicle speed increases, the operation point of the engine exceeds the maximum number of revolution.

In this state, the power of the engine is supposed to directly supplied from second carrier C2 to third carrier C3 by engaging a second clutch CL2, but in this state, there is necessarily a large difference between the rotation speeds of second carrier C2 and third carrier C3, such that it is required to synchronize the rotation speeds of second carrier C2 and third carrier C3 by reducing the speed of the engine. As a result, it becomes worse to control the EVT and transmission shock is likely to be generated, and the acceleration response decreases with the decrease in rotation speed of the engine.

The information disclosed in this Background of the Invention section is only for enhancement of understanding of the general background of the invention and should not be taken as an acknowledgement or any form of suggestion that this information forms the prior art already known to a person skilled in the art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Reference will now be made in detail to various embodiments of the present invention(s), examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings and described below. While the invention(s) will be described in conjunction with exemplary embodiments, it will be understood that present description is not intended to limit the invention(s) to those exemplary embodiments. On the contrary, the invention(s) is/are intended to cover not only the exemplary embodiments, but also various alternatives, modifications, equivalents and other embodiments, which may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

Referring to FIG. 5, a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes an input element INPUT where rotation power is inputted and an output element OUTPUT from which the rotation power is outputted, a first motor generator MG1 and a second motor generator MG2, a first planetary gear set PG1 that is a multiple planetary gear set where input element INPUT, output element OUTPUT, and first motor generator MG1 are connected and that includes at least four or more rotary elements, a second planetary gear set PG2 where output element OUTPUT and second motor generator MG2 are connected, and a first clutch CL1 and a second clutch CL2.

In this configuration, the first rotary element of first planetary gear set PG1 and the first rotary element of second planetary gear set PG2 are kept connected with output element OUPUT, the second rotary element and the third rotary element of first planetary gear set PG1 are connected with input element INPUT and first motor generator MG1, respectively, the second rotary element of second planetary gear set PG2 is connected with second motor generator MG2, the third rotary element of second planetary gear set PG2 is switched to be rotatable by first clutch CL1, and the fourth rotary element of first planetary gear set PG1 and the second rotary element of second planetary gear set PG2 are switched to be selectively connected by second clutch CL2.

Further, in order to make a fixed gear stage when second clutch CL2 operates, a third clutch CL3 is further included to switch a rotatable state of one rotary element, which is not connected with output element OUTPUT and first clutch CL1, in the rotary elements of second planetary gear set PG2.

In the exemplary embodiment, one rotary element that is not connected with output element OUTPUT and first clutch CL1, in the rotary elements of second planetary gear set PG2, is the second rotary element of second planetary gear set PG2 where second motor generator MG2 is connected, such that third clutch CL3 is connected to the second rotary element.

A fourth clutch CL4 may be further included to selectively connect the second rotary element of first planetary gear set PG1 with the second rotary element of second planetary gear set PG2, and fourth clutch CL4 is shown by dotted lines in FIG. 5.

In the exemplary embodiment, second planetary gear set PG2 is a single pinion planetary gear set, in which the first rotary element is a carrier C2, the second rotary element is a sun gear S2, and the third rotary element is a ring gear R2.

First planetary gear set PG1 is a multiple planetary gear set composed of a planetary gear set PG1-1 including the first, second, and third rotary elements and a planetary gear set PG1-2 including the first, second, and fourth rotary elements.

In this configuration, the first, second, and third rotary elements of planetary gear set PG1-1 including the first, second, and third rotary elements of first planetary gear set PG1 are a carrier C1-1, a ring gear R1-1, and a sun gear S1-1, respectively, and the first, second, and fourth rotary elements of planetary gear set PG1-2 including the first, second, and fourth rotary elements of first planetary gear set PG1 are a ring gear R1-2, a carrier C1-2, and a sun gear S1-2, respectively.

Obviously, the first, second, and fourth rotary elements of planetary gear set PG1-2 including the first, second, and fourth rotary elements of first planetary gear set PG1 may be a carrier, a ring gear, and a sun gear, respectively.

Further, as in the second exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 6, first planetary gear set PG1 may be a multiple planetary gear set composed of a single pinion planetary gear set PG1-1 including the first, second, and third rotary elements and a double pinion planetary gear set PG1-2 including the first, second, and fourth rotary elements.

In this configuration, the first, second, and third rotary elements of planetary gear set PG1-1 including the first, second, and third rotary elements of first planetary gear set PG1 are a carrier C1-1, a ring gear R1-1, and a sun gear S1-1, respectively, and the first, second, and fourth rotary elements of planetary gear set PG1-2 including the first, second, and fourth rotary elements of first planetary gear set PG1 are a carrier C1-2, a ring gear R1-2, and a sun gear S1-2, respectively.

Further, as in the third exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 7, first planetary gear set PG1 may be a multiple planetary gear set composed of a planetary gear set including the first, second, and third rotary elements and a planetary gear set including the second, third, and fourth rotary elements.

In this configuration, the first, second, and third rotary elements of planetary gear set PG1-1 including the first, second, and third rotary elements of first planetary gear set PG1 are a carrier C1-1, a ring gear R1-1, and a sun gear S1-1, respectively, and the second, third, and fourth rotary elements of the planetary gear set including the second, third, and fourth rotary elements of the first planetary gear set are a carrier C1-2, a sun gear S1-2, and a ring gear R1-2, respectively.

Obviously, the second, third, and fourth rotary elements of planetary gear set PG1-2 including the second, third, and fourth rotary elements of first planetary gear set PG1 may be a ring gear, a sun gear, and a carrier, respectively.

The configurations of the first, second, and third exemplary embodiments described above may be concluded by the lever diagram shown in FIG. 8.

The arrangement state of torque applied to the lever showing first planetary gear set PG1 may be briefly illustrate, as shown in FIG. 9.

That is, for the torque exerted in output element OUTPUT, it may be considered that torque from an engine and torque from first motor generator MG1 are exerted at both sides, such that the torque is balanced.

Comparing the state of FIG. 9 with the state of the related art shown in FIG. 2, it can be seen that it is possible to transmit torque larger than the engine torque to output element OUTPUT, and when the path through which the power of the engine reaches output element OUTPUT is divided into a mechanical power path and an electrical power path, it can be seen that it is possible to relatively increase the relative importance of power transmission through the mechanical power path, such that it is possible to transmit high effective mechanical power for the same engine power, thereby achieving more larger acceleration force than the related art in the WOT start and reducing the size of the first motor generator MG1 because the importance of the electrical power can be reduced.

Since, as described, it is possible to achieve larger acceleration force in the EVT of the present invention than the fixed gear ratio mode that is the ENGINE ONLY mode applied to the 2-mode EVT of the related art, it is not required to switch to the ENGINE ONLY mode when starting, such that it is possible to make the configuration of the EVT more simple and decrease the clutches with the decrease of modes, and thus, it is possible to simplify the configuration and improve power transmission efficiency.

The operation in the WOT start of the EVT of the present invention is described with reference to the lever diagram of the EVT of the present invention shown in FIG. 8 and the operation mode table shown in FIG. 10.

The EVT of the present invention uses not the fixed gear ratio mode that is the ENGINE ONLY MODE, but an EVT-1 and EVT-2 modes, in the WOT start.

That is, driving is implemented in the EVT-1 mode in the early stage of the WOT start, in which only first clutch CL1 is engaged, the engine power is supplied to the second element of first planetary gear set PG1 through input element INPUT, an input division mode is implemented by operating second motor generator MG2 by using electricity generated by first motor generator MG1, and power is outputted to output element OUTPUT through the first element of first planetary gear set PG1 and the first element of second planetary gear set PG2.

In this state, since first clutch CL1 is engaged, as the vehicle speed increases, the rotation speed of second motor generator MG2 considerably increases in comparison to the rotation speed of the rotation force supplied to output element OUTPUT in accordance with the gear ratio of second planetary gear set PG2 and the number or revolution of second motor generator MG2 becomes too high when the engine operates close to the maximum power point, such that loss due to high-speed rotation starts to rapidly increase.

In the EVT of the present invention, it is switched to the EVT-2 mode that is a multiple division mode before the loss due to high-speed rotation of second motor generator MG2 rapidly increases, which is implemented simply by engaging second clutch CL2 and disengaging first clutch CL1.

That is, in the EVT of the present invention, it is possible to engage second clutch CL2 without a specific synchronizing process, when the number of revolution of the fourth rotary element of first planetary gear set PG1 becomes the same as the number of revolution of the second rotary element of second planetary gear set PG2, such that it is possible to very simply control switching the modes and smoothly switch the modes without transmission shock, and accordingly, the acceleration response is improved.

Further, the torque directions of first motor generator MG1 and second motor generator MG2 are kept before and after the mode is switched, as described above, such that the control becomes easier.

The engine keeps operating at the maximum power point by the EVT-2 mode implemented as described above and the rotation speed of second motor generator MG2 gradually decreases with the increase in vehicle speed, such that it operates only within the limited operation range (for example, 12000 RPM) of the motor.

Further, in the EVT of the present invention, two fixed gear ratio modes can be additionally implemented without fourth clutch CL4 and two additional fixed gear ratio modes can be further implemented when fourth clutch CL4 is added, such that total four fixed gear ratio modes can be achieved.

That is, when first planetary gear set PG1 and second planetary gear set PG2 are implemented in a multiple planetary gear that can be shown by one lever by engaging second clutch CL2 and the second rotary element of second planetary gear set PG2 is fixed by engaging third clutch CL3, a first fixed gear ratio mode FG1 in which the rotation speed of the output element increases with respect to the rotation speed of the engine is implemented.

Further, when first clutch CL1 is engaged instead of third clutch CL3, with second clutch CL2 engaged, the third rotary element of second planetary gear set PG2 is fixed, such that a second fixed gear ratio mode FG2 in which the rotation speed of the output element decreases with respect to the rotation speed of the engine is implemented.

Further, when fourth clutch CL4 is engaged, with only first clutch CL1 engaged, a third fixed gear ratio mode FG3 in which output further decreased than second fixed gear ratio mode FG2 is outputted to output element OUTPUT is implemented, and in a fourth fixed gear ratio mode FG4 in which only second clutch CL2 and fourth clutch CL4 are engaged, all of the rotary elements of first planetary gear set PG1 and second planetary gear set PG2 are integrated by second clutch CL2 and fourth clutch CL4, such that the engine power is outputted at a transmission ratio of 1:1 to output element OUTPUT.

The several fixed gear ratio modes can significantly contribute to improving fuel efficiency of a vehicle by allowing the vehicle to travel without electric load. In particular, in first fixed gear ratio mode FG1 that is implemented by engaging second clutch CL2 and third clutch CL3, it is possible to considerably contribute to improving the fuel efficiency when the vehicle travels at high speed by providing an overdrive transmission ratio.

The exemplary embodiments of the present invention shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 can be described as the followings. The exemplary embodiments includes first planetary gear set including at least four or more rotary elements having three rotary elements connected with input element INPUT, output element OUTPUT, and first motor generator MG1, respectively, second planetary gear set PG2 including three rotary elements having the rotary element connected to output element OUTPUT and the rotary element connected to second motor generator MG2, first clutch CL1 disposed to switch a rotatable state of the other one rotary element that is not connected to output element OUTPUT and second motor generator MG2 in the rotary elements of second planetary gear set PG2, and second clutch CL2 selectively connecting the rotary element of first planetary gear set PG1, which has the same rotation speed as the rotary element where second motor generator MG2 is connected in second planetary gear set PG2, with the rotary element where second motor generator MG2 is connected in second planetary gear set PG2, in regard to the rotary elements of the first planetary gear set PG1 and the rotary elements of second planetary gear set PG2, which are both connected to output element OUTPUT.

In this configuration, a third clutch CL3 may be further provided to switch the rotatable state of the rotary element of second planetary gear set PG2 which is connected with second motor generator MG2 such that a fixed gear ratio mode can be further implemented while a fourth clutch CL4 may be further provided to connect/disconnect the rotary element connected to input element INPUT in first planetary gear set PG1 with/from the rotary element connected to second motor generator MG2 in second planetary gear set PG2 such that more fixed gear ratio modes can be implemented.

In this configuration, in the two pairs of rotary elements that are kept connected of first planetary gear set PG1, carrier C1-1 of planetary gear set PG1-1 is connected to ring gear R1-2 of planetary gear set PG1-2 and ring gear R1-1 of planetary gear set PG1-1 is connected to carrier C1-2 of planetary gear set PG1-2.
